Child sex assault suspect arrested

Authorities on Wednesday arrested a fugitive accused of sexually assaulting a young child.

Officials believe Amanda Rodriguez, 26, abused a child under the age of 6.

She was arrested about 7 p.m. on Wednesday at a home on the 5000 block of Bernadine, according to a prepared statement from the U.S. Marshals Service.

Rodriguez has been charged with super-aggravated sexual assault of a child, a first-degree felony. Bail was set at $75,000.

While searching for Rodriguez at another home on the 1700 block of Patricia, officers with the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force found two men in possession of marijuana and cocaine. Officers seized nearly 13 pounds of hydroponic marijuana and about 54 grams of cocaine from the location.
